"I truly felt I was in the 5th Century. The tale of Merlin in his younger life crafted beautifully. This chilled my spine several times. Every page is loaded with incentive to carry on reading."
"Short stories which make you feel as if you have just swallowed a novel whole. A unique voice, style and outlook, but with plenty to carry away from it."
"Could this be the true explanation for our existence? This series is not fiction, its is heavy going, but sends more shivers down my spine than any fiction could. A very interesting theory."
"Eco is a very unique writer. This book is hard and clever, and with the 1st read I swam in his intelligence at times rather than following the characters complex rants. But that’s not a criticism."
